Nautanki Times #88 - Raju ki HERO Madhu :)

Madhu prays to Kanha and asks for support in the decision she took. RK sees her praying and spots a red chunri which he adorns Madhu with. She does his aarti and RK says that husband and wife are equal so he will do her aarti too.

While praying, Madhu hears the flute and she turns around to see RK playing the flute beautifully. She records him and praises his skills.

RK requests for some puri's and denies having the breakfast the cook has made so Madhu heads to the kitchen to make them. On her way there she sees Mami and is shocked. She asks about Bittu and if he'll be fine if she lives here. In return, Mami and Sweety taunt her and Mami tells her that Sweety is the owner of the house because she's married to superstar Abhay Kapoor while she's the maid who's married to a mad man. Mami orders Madhu to make breakfast because she has sent the cook on leave.

Dolly helps Madhu in the kitchen and RK joins them. He asks Madhu to blow some flour on his face; when Madhu does so, he loves it and claps. Dolly asks RK to leave and go see his hero when Mami demands for food. RK carries the plate of flour with him, leaves the kitchen and calls out for Mami. When she appears in front of him, he throws some flour on her and laughs. In anger, Mami throws flour into RK's eyes and he is hurt. She scolds him and calls him mad. She tries throwing some more flour on him but Madhu comes in between and stops her claiming that RK is her husband and she won't let any harm come to him.

RK gets angry and rushes to his room in tears when Mami calls him an animal and saying that he doesn't deserve to be with humans. Madhu runs after him to console him. They share a few happy moments. Abhay speaks to someone on the phone and tells them that he will soon be making his return in the film industry. In the middle of the call he sees Mami in his room. He disconnects the call and gets angry when she addresses him as her son-in-law. Abhay tells her that she should stay within her limits as the marriage was only a contract. He warns her and says he doesn't want to see her anywhere around him.

Sweety and Mami sit by the poolside thinking of a plan. Mami tells Sweety that she wants to enjoy the luxuries they have as they would only last for six months if they don't do something. They think of a plan and suddenly RK appears. Mami confronts him and intentionally fills his ears with foul things. She makes RK angry by calling Madhu a maid in the house.

In return, RK pushes her into the pool causing Leela to shout out in shock and she calls RK mad. Upon hearing the screech, Abhay and Madhu rush out to the poolside. Madhu helps Mami out of the pool and Abhay asks what happened. RK explains what happened and when Abhay asks whether he pushed Mami into the pool or not; RK confesses and says that he pushed her into the pool. Abhay pushes RK into the pool as his punishment leaving Madhu stunned.

Madhu encourages RK to try and swim out of the pool and he succeeds after several attempts. Madhu tells Abhay that if he wanted to prove he's a man by doing this then he proved himself to be the biggest coward by this action and if his father was alive then he would have died after seeing what Abhay has done.

Mami and Sweety are left shocked at Madhu's words. Furthermore, Madhu threatens Abhay and tells him that she will use all her power and do everything possible to make RK turn from a boy to a man and one day RK will stand up to Abhay and look him into the eye. She promises him that one day RK will push him and there will be nothing to save him.

Madhu holds RK's hand to leave but RK stops and angrily shouts at Abhay that he's not the hero; Madhu is the hero and he's the villain. Madhu and RK leave hand in hand while Abhay, Mami and Sweety are flabbergasted.

In his room, Abhay is in rage and is drinking alcohol thinking about what RK said to him. Mami joins him and asks him to stop drinking. She tells him that she has a plan to make sure that Madhu and RK are punished for their deeds. Meanwhile, Madhu and RK have a good time in their room together and Madhu promises RK that he'll be a big hero one day.

RK turns violent after waking up with a very bad headache and Madhu is shocked when he also pushes her and throws things in her direction. She runs to Abhay and finds him with Mami sipping some alcohol. She asks what happened to RK and they laugh at her. Abhay explains that he didn't give RK his medicines so RK turned into an animal. He shows Madhu the medicines and empties them out into his hand. Sweety tells Madhu to apologise to her husband and beg for RK's life which is in Abhay's hands. Madhu taunts them and tells them that they're the animals not RK. Abhay orders security to go up and handle RK. Dolly sees this and runs off too. He purposely drops the medication into his wine wasting them while Madhu looks on. He drops the last tablet into the glass of wine and tells Madhu maybe your husband died because of your ego. He tells her that her husband lost his life because of a small apology. Madhu rushes up to RK and sees him tied up with ropes. She unties him and cries holding him. She asks him who did this to him and Dolly comes in asking her not to worry because she has already called the ambulance.

RK recovers successfully and the doctor tells Madhu that Abhay was giving RK a very high dose of the medicine which could cause RK brain damage. Madhu is shocked at this revelation and vows to make RK recover fully after the doctor tells her that in very rare cases; mental patients recover. Madhu is given permission to take RK home.

Madhu meets Meenakshi and takes her home where Meenakshi invites everyone for an annual function. Abhay is made the chief guest and Madhu promises everyone that RK will play the flute. Abhay laughs at Madhu and tells her that RK will never turn up to do anything on stage because he is not confident enough. Madhu challenges him and says that RK will definitely play a beautiful tune using the flute on stage. Madhu convinces RK that when he gets on stage he should just look at her and no one else. Abhay performs RK's aarti and when he tries adorning his forehead with the tilak, RK stops him and says he doesn't consider him as the hero anymore.

He leaves with Madhu and Abhay laughs at Madhu calling her overconfident. At the function, Madhu sees RK getting tensed and goes to him to give him morale support. RK is called on stage and just when he starts getting confident, Abhay purposely starts clapping, making everyone else clap and call for RK making him nervous again.

Madhu notices this and asks RK to go on stage but RK is still nervous and says he won't be able to do it. Madhu gives up and tells him that she won't force him. She runs off and starts crying at the temple in the school. Seeing this, RK goes off on stage and starts playing the flute confidently. Madhu hears him playing and thanks the Lord then rushes off to support RK giving him the thumbs up sign. Abhay is stunned by RK's performance and claps unwillingly. Everyone claps for him and RK is happy. He jumps off stage and runs to Madhu, hugging her.

Oh man .. now .. the whole annual day event was adorable 😳
